            Bug ID: 118010
           Summary: Cursor focus not on text area if Navigator is
                    displayed
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.0.4.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: christianw_lehmann at arcor.de

Description:
In Writer, if the Navigator is first displayed, the cursor focus is in the
Navigator panel instead of in the text area. As a result, in a new document,
you have to reposition the cursor before you can start writing.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.a. With a document on screen, hit F5.
  b. Alternatively, just start Writer after having it closed down with the
Navigator displayed.
  c. Alternatively, with Writer open and Navigator displayed, hit CTL-N.
2. Hit any key.

Actual Results:  
Keystrokes apply to the Navigator panel. (Not even CTRL-W works!)

Expected Results:
At least in cases #1b and #1c above, the cursor must stay in the text area.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
a) One might argue whether the current behavior makes sense in case #1a.
However, in cases #1b and #c, it is a nuisance; the cursor must be in the text
area.

b) The behavior is multiply inconsistent. Behavior #1b and #c does not happen
if you open an existent document; then the cursor is in the text area (which
is, of course, good). Nor does the counterpart of behavior #1a happen with the
Styles list: if you open it (e.g. by hitting F11), the cursor remains in the
text area (which, again, is good).

Suggestion: To keep consistency, always keep the cursor in the text area unless
the user moves it to the Navigator (just as it is now with the Styles list).
